Want to get away for a weekend of dedicated sewing? Ever wish you had an instructor in your sewing space that you could get help with fit or ask any questions that come up? This is the retreat for you!
Join us for our first Summer Camp Weekend Retreat at Makers Hideaway! Come for almost 3 whole days of dedicated sewing time with a certified Palmer/Pletsch instructor + the Style Maker team available to help however they can!
Need help perfecting the fit on a pattern? Stuck on a certain sewing technique? Can’t figure out what fabric to use for a particular project? Take advantage of the knowledge and expertise of those around you to help you achieve your sewing goals and accomplish as much as you’d like over the course of the weekend.
Oh, and did we mention we’ll take care of all the cooking and cleaning! That means even more dedicated sewing time! The Style Maker Fabrics shop will also be open throughout the weekend if you find you need additional supplies or other projects to work on.
This is an all-inclusive sewing weekend escape! It includes shared luxury lodging, food + drinks + snacks, and instruction from our sewing experts. Bring yourself, your sewing machine (if possible), and the projects you want to work on, and enjoy a weekend full of sewing, relaxation and time with fellow sewists!
